When it comes to creating stunning indoor spaces that stand the test of time, design expert Shaynna Blaze says the key is to balance decorative with practical – and the best place to start is with lifestyle. Having spent years remodelling older homes on Selling Houses Australia, while also judgingThe Block, Shaynna says our fast-paced world means interior design styles can date quickly. The Signature Collection by Shaynna Blaze, features her carefully crafted homes range, which offers interior designs that prioritise functionality and timeless style. Shaynna wants to help create versatile spaces where individuals can really feel at home and that combine practical living with enduring style.
Boutique Hotel
Arguably one of the most popular styles when it comes to interior design right now, the Boutique Hotel oozes luxury and elegance. This style has a lot of light and dark contrasts in colour with black and navy and fresh white to give it a sense of grandeur. The end result is a classic, luxury design throughout the home. This includes chevron pattern surfaces with silk-look wallpaper and elegant navy-blue tones that tie it all together. It leaves you with the same feeling you get from a decadent holiday.
Palm Springs
Inspired by sunshine and relaxation, this theme is all about easy living and modern design. But, there’s a special twist. We all know Palm Springs from the days of holiday and mid-century design, but to take the elements of what we traditionally know as Palm Springs and adapt it to our Australian lifestyle. Using colour, tiles, wallpaper, and a range of fittings, Shaynna has aimed for a “sense of colour and fun”.
Relaxed Bohemian
Boho style has been a popular style for decades. It’s all about kicking back and chilling out, which was at the forefront of Shaynna’s mind during the design process. This is all about soft calm whites, natural textures, stone and timber that is more about creating a sensory lifestyle than a particular fixed design style. Standout features iare lime washed oak floors that sets the scene for an interior accented with natural cane, Moroccan rugs and hand-crafted sculpture points.
Modernist Expression
Modern typically means crisp lines and simple colour palettes, but Shaynna has let the imagination thrive in this timeless display theme by adding new age influences. Most modernist designs can feel hard with high contrasting elements, “Introducing textures of travertine and soft grey timbers is important to give a more personal feel. This is about taking influences of strong modern lines such from Art Deco, mid-century and 70s architecture and giving it a 21st-century influence with patterns and textures. The design element to look out for is the white feather tiles with black grout that harks to an Art Deco influence from the Bauhaus era, according to Shaynna, who were instrumental to the modernist design movement.
